Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 78

Neither Holland nor Calipari did anything new in the lineup, and the five players from the regular season were the starters.But Calipari did not expect Holland to jump out of the outside line and play the inside line first. You must know that this has basically never happened in all UCLA games this season. Playing Beasley counts as one time. But that's because the players decided to help Love get the league's first inside line, not the tactical arrangement that the head coach prepared from the beginning.It can be said that the University of Memphis Tigers is the first team in the entire NCAA to try the full strength of the Bruins inside.

As the team's starting center, Love worked hard at the beginning.Facing a "black and tough" like Dorsey, he abruptly squeezed his opponent away in mid-air, and directly dialed the basketball to Westbrook's direction. The latter also got the ball steadily, and then dribbled slowly. To the front field.Of course, Westbrook didn't want to be slow. With his fiery temper, it would be fine if he didn't directly plunge into the basket.But this time the team had to play the inside first, and it was only the first round of the game. He couldn't do something that disregarded the overall situation. He could only suppress his speed and wait for the inside to settle down before starting to attack.

Westbrook is not very cool, but Ye Feng feels pretty good, because although the current tactic is not the most authentic inside-out, if there is really no chance inside, the ball will still be passed, and he is now leisurely Standing in the left bottom corner, occasionally running around according to the situation on the court.But in the final analysis, it saves effort, and it also takes away Rose, the strongest perimeter defender of the Tigers. It doesn't feel too good.Mbah a Moute also felt very happy. Rose went with Ye Feng himself. He was facing the relatively weaker Dozier in the opposing team, and he saved a lot of energy. He wanted to shout "Thank you, Ron".

Love and Shipp didn't have so many thoughts. Their only thought was to play well for the team.Love stands near the free throw line, and Shipp hangs out at the left elbow, ready to catch the ball.Now defending Westbrook is Roberts. This white guy has a good shooting ability, but he is blind when it comes to defense. At this time, facing a violent point guard like Westbrook, he can only go up and interfere. It is absolutely impossible for the opponent to suppress it.Westbrook didn't feel any pressure at all, just played a small change of direction and gave the ball to Love.

Love didn't dribble after receiving the ball, but just stood still and held the ball with one hand in a pass posture.Westbrook and Ye Feng quickly started to run outside the three-point line, attracting the defense of Rose and Roberts. As for Dozier, as the team's first-to-last or second-to-last player in the starting lineup, he directly followed Bahmer It's good to be free from the system.When the outside lines open up the space, the inside lines become empty.Because Dorsey's ability to protect the frame is better than Taggart, it is the latter who pulls up to the high position to defend Love, while Dorsey sits quietly at the basket and waits for the rabbit.

Who is Taggart?This season's regular season average of 5.9 points and 4.2 rebounds is just a pure blue-collar, and his personal data is many levels worse than Love's double-double per game.Facing his defense, Love turned around and stuck him behind him, facing the basket directly.This is because Dorsey couldn't help it, and Love's mid-range is not easy to mess with. He can only leave the basket and come up to help defend.In this way, Shipp was empty. Love took advantage of Dorsey's double-team and passed the ball directly from behind his head. Shipp received the ball steadily, and there was only one person within two meters of him. nothing.

That can't be helped, Love restrained the two insiders, and the other three took away three people one-on-one from outside the three-point line, so Shipp had to be emptied.He didn't waste the opportunity and helped Loew get an assist.Calipari stared straight at the sidelines. He always thought it was just an inside-out tactic, and the Terminator was still on the outside, but this round of the Bruins made him confused. What kind of inside are you playing?Guarding such a strong backcourt combination and not playing outside?But he soon came to his senses: Nima's insiders are not bad, one Loew can beat two!
The players on the Tigers didn't care that much, they just felt that they were offended, and what they had to do now was to fight back hard to let the opponent know how good they were.Dorsey didn't hesitate, and wasn't even affected by the goal just now. Even though a large part of the responsibility for the goal was on his head, he quickly stabilized his mood and turned to serve the baseline.The Tigers still have the ball to Rose, who doesn't control the ball as meekly as Westbrook. You must know that the Tigers' tactics are mainly guards, and the center just grabs the rebounds.

But this time it wasn't Westbrook, or even Ye Feng, but the Cameroonian Prince Ba Mote.Whether it's height, weight or wingspan, Mbah a Moute has advantages, and he doesn't even suffer in terms of moving speed.What's more, as the team's number one perimeter defensive player, Mbah a Moute has a lot of experience, and some small moves were not noticed by the referee.Under Mbah a Moute's close defense, Rose felt very uncomfortable, not to mention whether he could play the ball smoothly, even the ball in his hands felt a little dangerous, as if there was a possibility of being directly intercepted at any time.But Mbah a Moute is also miserable. This guy's ability to combine man and ball is too strong, and he is full of fake moves. If the fake moves don't work, he will forcefully rely on changing directions to gain space. He is also under a lot of pressure OK?

It's true that Mbah a Moute's defense is very strong, but Rose himself is a fucking attribute that gets stronger and stronger. Facing Mbah a Moute's close defense, Rose almost showed [-]% of his strength.This time, Mbah a Moute couldn't take it anymore, and Ross used continuous frontal changes to shake him past him, and rushed into the inside line like a sports car.Love's complexion changed. He didn't expect Mbah a Moute to fail to lock Ross, and let the other party rush in directly, but now he can't complain, and blocking this hole is the serious matter.So Loew let go of his defensive object without hesitation, and turned to defend Rose.

Love's defense is not good, but it barely reaches the average level, and his height and speed have a great impact on Rose. If he is covered, it is difficult to find a good shot, let alone a direct attack.However, Rose was very experienced as a freshman. He directly made a small throw when Love was still one step away from him, which made Love's defense useless.Although Rose scored the goal, Love was not frustrated. This was expected before the start of the game. After all, the opponent had the title of the No. [-] point guard in the NCAA. How could it be so easy to guard against him?
Love doesn't care about the other people, let alone the other people. It's just the beginning, so it doesn't matter.Westbrook still dribbled the ball slowly, but this time he made a more complicated one, calling Mbah a Moute to come over and do a pick-and-roll.Of course he didn't dare to call Ye Feng anymore. If Ye Feng came to pick and roll and switched defenses, he would be defended by Rose. Only a fool would do this kind of money-losing business.Facing Dozier Westbrook is not as easy as facing Roberts. After all, the opponent is a small forward, but it doesn't matter. Westbrook forced the opponent to reach the three-point line.

This time, the hornet's nest was stabbed. Westbrook didn't know that his lethality was also at the level of weapons of mass destruction. Not only Dozier was very nervous, but the two insiders were also very nervous. Dorsey and Taggart looked at each other. At a glance, it is decided that the latter will go up and the former will continue to guard the basket.But there was a gap again, and Love immediately pulled out from the basket and appeared in the gap.Westbrook had sharp eyes and quick hands, and quickly passed the ball to Love, who easily made a mid-range shot, and Dorsey, who was just about to come out of the basket, was so black that he could squeeze out ink.At this time, he even wanted to ask the sky speechlessly: I am a defensive insider!So many opponents who can shoot are going to die?Isn't this forcibly slapping me in the face?In case the loss is not all to blame on me?
I don't know if he will lose, but obviously Dorsey suffered a lot in the next 10 minutes.He couldn't understand why the Bruins came up with a completely different routine from the last match and started playing inside instead.You must know that no matter how you say the shooting percentage of the inside line is far higher than that of the outside line, the closer the opponent is to the basket, the easier it is to score.On the other hand, they themselves are not good scorers on the inside. The reason why they can score points is to rely on the second attack.

What a joke, if you keep fighting like last time, you might lose again!Love and Ship quickly gained the advantage in the paint, forcing the Tigers to double-team every catch they had.When the outside line also began to selectively enter the inside line to help defend, Holland shouted from the sidelines, indicating that he could enter the next stage.Of course, the Tigers didn't know what he was going to do, but the Bruins players knew, and that was enough.Obviously Love and Shipp forced the opponent to face up to the team's advantage in the interior, and they had to send players to double-team, so that the exterior could get opportunities through continuous screens and running positions. Westbrook and Ye Feng's offensive ability of this backcourt combination is not vegetarian.

Hearing the coach's instructions on the sidelines, Westbrook glanced at Ye Feng with a smile, and everyone knew the subtext: "The next is the time for the two of us to show our talents. This time, I must beat Rose and let him know the regular season. It was just an accident when we were defeated!" Ye Feng shook his head, mouthing every word at him: "You just don't want to lose the chain!"
